I have seen on more than one occasion recently- someone needed help posting pics.. I dont mind doing this for people, but i figured id take the 5 min to write this tutorial. "Dont give a man food, teach him to hunt" type thing. Although, im not a hunter.

ANYWAY-- the site i use is www.imageshack.us
The opening screen is this-

I like to have the image i am posting on the Desktop- so it is easy to find. You then hit the "browse" and a window will pop up for you to select a file.
MAKE SURE you hit resize image-- its default is the very small 100x75. I use 640x480

Once you have your pic and the resize checked- you will hit submit.
It will go to a progress bar (not pictured here) and then to this screen-- which i had to do in two pics. You can see it is all one screen.
At the very top= it says "direct link to image" in the yellowed bar-- this is for your offsite avatar. (i would have the image sized to about 220X220 pixels)
closer to the bottom, i have high lighted in blue, is where you get the code for your pic. You will copy this section "hotlink for forums 1" and paste it in your post.
